NATURE IS NEVER SILENT How Animals and Plants Communicate with Each Other

Our forests and other habitats are teeming with chatter from plants and animals, according to the author. Narrator Tanya Schneider gives listeners many examples of this phenomenon with her engaging Australian accent. Her audience will either wince or laugh at the author’s descriptions of the zombie ants who are invaded by parasites and are slowly eaten from the inside out by their offspring. But not all of these relationships are hostile—some plants and animals do have beneficial relationships. Schneider’s strong pace as she gives both common name and genus for each animal or plant without a misstep is quite astounding. Listeners will learn some amazing facts about the animal and plant kingdoms that will broaden their understanding of these hidden worlds. E.E.S. © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine [Published: MAY 2022]
